Luton struck at the death to dump Everton out in the fourth round on Saturday.
Luton struck at the death to dump Everton out in the fourth round on Saturday.
Everton and Luton's priority is survival in the Premier League and the Hatters' 96th-minute winner at least ensured they both avoided a replay. Vitaliy Mykolenko's own goal gave Luton a half-time lead that was cancelled out when stand-in goalkeeper Tim Krul allowed Jack Harrison's shot through his grasp early in the second period.
A bad-tempered affair appeared to be meandering towards a stalemate until Cauley Woodrow bundled home from a corner right at the death. Joao Pedro scored a hat-trick, including two penalties, as Brighton beat Sheffield United 5-2 at Bramall Lane. Facundo Buonanotte's fine strike and Pedro's first spot-kick put the visitors 2-0 up.
But last season's semi-finalists were pegged back before half-time as Gustavo Hamer and William Osula struck for the Blades. Another Pedro penalty restored Brighton's advantage before he completed his hat-trick and Danny Welbeck rounded off the scoring deep into stoppage time. Championship leaders Leicester made light work of Birmingham as Jamie Vardy was on target in a 3-0 victory.
Leeds and Plymouth is one of at least four ties set for a replay after they drew 1-1 at Elland Road. Newcastle face Fulham in Saturday's late kick-off as the Magpies aim to move one step closer to a first FA Cup success for 69 years.
